Actually, either method works fine (loadlin vs LILO). My two cents worth: Be prepared to repair either method when Win95 goes _crash_ and you end up reloading Win95. For loadlin, have a spare DOS floppy with loadlin.exe on it. For LILO, have a bootable Linux floppy (created at installation time). After reloading Win95, either copy over loadin.exe or reboot using the Linux floppy and re-run LILO as the root account.
